Valve has announced that the second act of the Crownfall event in Dota 2, known as The Deserts of Druud, has been delayed until next week. This news comes after the initial announcement that the second act would be released in “mid-May,” which many believed would be happening this week. However, a small patch released overnight changed the text underneath the act two button on the Crownfall menu to read “Unlocks next week,” indicating that players will have to wait a little longer for the new content.
While the delay may be disappointing for some players, it is a positive sign that Valve has communicated the change instead of leaving the community waiting for a patch that was not going to arrive. This update comes after several instances of delays with the initial Crownfall launch, causing frustration among players. With the new release window now set for next week, players can take their time to collect Crownfall tokens without rushing to complete them in a short period.
There is anticipation among players for what Crownfall Act Two will bring, with hopes for a significant gameplay patch to address some of the issues in the game. Many players have expressed that Dota 2 has become stale and has major gameplay issues, such as difficulties in pushing high ground without a substantial lead in the early game. The expectation is that The Deserts of Druud will not only continue the Crownfall story but also introduce new gameplay elements and mini-games to explore in the token map.
Despite the excitement for new content, it is unlikely that the new hero Ringmaster will be released with Act Two, as the theme of The Deserts of Druud suggests a different setting than a circus. It is speculated that Ringmaster may be introduced in the final act of Crownfall to garner more attention and avoid being overshadowed by the event. With no official details on what Act Two will entail, players can only speculate on what surprises Valve has in store for them in the upcoming release.
The delay of The Deserts of Druud has sparked discussions within the Dota 2 community about the state of the game and the impact of the upcoming act on its gameplay. Some players see the delay as an opportunity to build anticipation for the new content and make time for completing Crownfall tokens at a relaxed pace. Valve’s decision to communicate the change in the release window has been met with appreciation from players, who are eager to see how the next act will shape the future of Dota 2.
As players eagerly await the release of Crownfall Act Two, the community continues to speculate on what changes and additions will come with The Deserts of Druud. With hopes for a gameplay patch and exciting new content, Dota 2 enthusiasts are looking forward to experiencing the next chapter of the Crownfall event and exploring the mysteries of the token map. As Valve prepares for the upcoming release, players are preparing themselves for another week of anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead in the world of Dota 2.
